Organic, Sustainable & Ethical Palm Oil in these Vegan Products: Soyatoo, Plamil & Bonvita

Orangutan Mum with babyThe growing public awareness and concern of the Important issue of Palm Oil use in products is great! We have been aware of sourcing products that are either Palm Oil Free (as in most of our soaps and in many of our other products) or stocking those that use sustainable &/or organic Palm Oil sourced sustainably (in that they do not cause destruction of our beautiful and important forests and wildlife) for several years now.

 

This is what one of our suppliers wrote back when asked by me as to what kind Palm fat was used. What he wrote was good news and shows that together distributors and retailers and consumers can and do make a difference by the decisions we all make as to what we will and will not purchase with our hard earned dollars. 

 

HI Jacquie


We have been pro-active on the issue of palm oil in our suppliers products for over 3 years now. 

 So much so that two of our suppliers have actually removed palm oil as an ingredient in all of their products!

We have 3 suppliers that use organic palm oil in their products:

 

Plamil

Bonvita

Soyatoo

 

All 3 source their organic palm oil from South American cooperatives. These cooperatives are both fair-trade and fully sustainable operations. In fact, the South American cooperatives that our suppliers use are the most environmentally friendly plantations in the world.

We do not accept palm oil from non-sustainable plantations in Malaysia or Indonesia, which are responsible for huge deforestation and destruction of natural habitat for endangered species, especially Orangutan.

 

Good on you Jeremy! Wink
